It will hold fast when loaded, but slip when shock loaded until tension is relieved enough for it to again hold fast. It serves the same purpose as the taut-line hitch, e.g. tensioning a tent's guy line. This knot is also called the adjustable loop [1] and Cawley adjustable hitch. It was conceived 1982 by Canadian climber Robert Chisnall.
Zeppelin bend forming a loop: the four stages of the method starting with a "clover leaf" or flattened overhand knot; Red line: ends of the overhand knot, Green line: ends of the underhand. Another method of remembering this knot is to visualize a "69". To tie the knot with this method, follow the steps below: Make a "6" with one line (rope) end.
These knots are generally shown as being based on one of three underlying hitches: two variants of the rolling hitch (ABOK #1734 and #1735) and the Magnus hitch (#1736). These three closely related hitches have a long and muddled naming history that leads to ambiguity in the naming of their adjustable loop forms as well. The use of the Ashley ...
The line may still pass through the eye of the hook, but primarily fastens to the shaft. Hooks tied with a snell knot provide an even, straight-line pull to the fish. It is a very secure knot, but because it is easily tied using only the near end as the working end, it is used to attach a hook only to a leader, rather than directly to the main ...
Pretzel link knot – in knot theory, a branch of mathematics, a pretzel link is a special kind of link; Prusik knot – friction hitch or knot used to put a loop of cord around a rope; Portuguese bowline a.k.a. French bowline – variant of the bowline with two loops that are adjustable in size; Portuguese whipping – a type of whipping knot
A knot that is excellent for connecting to a post when weight is applied to an end running parallel to the post in a specific direction. Klemheist hitch: A friction hitch tied around a thicker rope that can slide while unloaded, but locks when loaded. Similar to the Prusik. Klemheist knot is a full equivalent to uni-directional Machard. Knut hitch
The uni knot is widely used for attaching hooks, rings and swivels to the end of the line [7] and it is also used for joining two fishing lines together. [8] The bend form of the uni knot (for joining two lines) is not a noose; rather it is akin to a multiple fisherman's knot with the two opposing knotted parts arranged in the manner of uni knots.
Non-extension can be accomplished by tying an appropriate knot in the interconnecting cordelette, or by using individual slings for equalization. The principle of non-extension refers to the mitigation of shock-loading, rather than the elongation of materials under an increased load. The principle of minimum swing is related to non-extension.
